New X61 Tablet SXGA+ arrived - first thoughts

[jamess]

I've gathered first thoughts on my new X61 T. You can read about it here

Since I'll have X60s for another week or so, I will also try to write a review of X60s and X61T and compare pros and cons of both.

As for the new tablet, if I only had to choose one think I love most - it's definitely the SXGA+ screen!

I really enjoyed my X61 tablet while I owned it-but if I had to do it over again, I would order the SXGA+ screen and forego the Multitouch feature. I can see where it might benefit some users, but for me it wasn't that accurate or easy to use. I much preferred using the stylus.

Plus, I can't stand a messy screen-and the Multiview is a fingerprint magnet!

If its any consolation, the "Superview" SXGA on the X61t's is also a fingerprint-magnet. Much worse than the X60t's were.

On top of that, my X61t SXGA now sporadically has the dreaded "lower-third" screen problems.... ugh!! My X60t just got back from having that "fixed" for the second time... now that will have to be my backup machine while the X61t gets fixed... This is getting ridiculous...

I wrote a short comparison of X61 Tablet and X60s.

Pictures to follow soon.
